And the book which wass=hlblue>as the book of life is the record which is kept in heaven; the principle agreeing precisely with the doctrine which is commanded you in the revelation contained in the letter which I wrote to you previous to my leaving my place-- that in all your recordings it may be recorded in heaven. opened, which wprepared for their salvation from before the foundation of the world, according to the records which they have kept concerning their dead. ass=hlblue>as always been given. Hence, whatsoever those men did in authority, in the name of the Lord, and did it truly and faithfully, and kept a proper and faithful record of the same, it became a law on earth and in heaven, and could not be annulled, according to the decrees of the great Jehovah. This is a faithful saying. Who can hear it? given a dispensation of the priesthood to any man by actual revelation, or any set of men, this power hinstituted to form a relationship with the ordinance of baptism for the dead, being in likeness of the dead. ass=hlgree>as a similitude of the grave, and wass=hlblue>as commanded to be in a place underneath where the living are wont to ass=hlblue>assemble, to show forth the living and the dead, and that all things may have their likeness, and that they may accord one with another-- that which is earthly conforming to that which is heavenly, ass=hlgree>as Paul hath declared, 1 Corinthians 15:46, 47, and 48: institutedass=hlgree>As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy; and ass=hlgree>as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And ass=hlgree>as are the records on the earth in relation to your dead, which are truly made out, so also are the records in heaven. This, therefore, is the sealing and binding power, and, in one sense of the word, the keys of the kingdom, which consist in the key of knowledge. not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.assed over, ass=hlgree>as pertaining to our salvation. For their salvation is necessary and essential to our salvation, ass=hlgree>as Paul says concerning the fathers-- that they without us cannot be made perfect-- neither can we without our dead be made perfect. sure you that these are principles in relation to the dead and the living that cannot be lightly pase, that the earth will be smitten with a curse unless there is a welding link of some kind or other between the fathers and the children, upon some subject or other-- and behold what is that subject? It is the baptism for the dead. For we without them cannot be made perfect; neither can they without us be made perfect. Neither can they nor we be made perfect without those who have died in the gospel also; for it is necessary in the ushering in of the dispensation of the fulness of times, which dispensation is now beginning to usher in, that a whole and complete and perfect union, and welding together of dispensations, and keys, and powers, and glories should take place, and be revealed from the days of Adam even to the present time. And not only this, but those things which never have been revealed from the foundation of the world, but have been kept hid from the wise and prudent, shall be revealed unto babes and sucklings in this, the dispensation of the fulness of times. it stands.

It commenced with the Methodists, but soon became general among all the sects in that region of country. Indeed, the whole district of country seemed affected by it, and great multitudes united themselves to the different religious parties, which created no small stir and division amongst the people, some crying, "Lo, here!" and others, "Lo, there!" Some were contending for the Methodist faith, some for the Presbyterian, and some for the Baptist. ased to call it, let them join what sect they pleased; yet when the converts began to file off, some to one party and some to another, it wass=hlblue>as seen that the seemingly good feelings of both the priests and the converts were more pretended than real; for a scene of great confusion and bad feeling ensued-- priest contending against priest, and convert against convert; so that all their good feelings one for another, if they ever had any, were entirely lost in a strife of words and a contest about opinions. they were pleass=hlblue>as proselyted to the Presbyterian faith, and four of them joined that church, namely, my mother, Lucy; my brothers Hyrum and Samuel Harrison; and my sister Sophronia. at this time in my fifteenth year. My father's family wasiness; but though my feelings were deep and often poignant, still I kept myself aloof from all these parties, though I attended their several meetings ass=hlgree>as often ass=hlgree>as occasion would permit. In process of time my mind became somewhat partial to the Methodist sect, and I felt some desire to be united with them; but so great were the confusion and strife among the different denominations, that it wass=hlblue>as impossible for a person young ass=hlgree>as I wass=hlblue>as, and so unacquainted with men and things, to come to any certain conclusion who wass=hlblue>as right and who wass=hlblue>as wrong. called up to serious reflection and great uneason and sophistry to prove their errors, or, at least, to make the people think they were in error. On the other hand, the Baptists and Methodists in their turn were equally zealous in endeavoring to establish their own tenets and disprove all others. greatly excited, the cry and tumult were so great and incessant.

I at length came to the determination to "ass=hlblue>ask of God," concluding that if he gave wisdom to them that lacked wisdom, and would give liberally, and not upbraid, I might venture. James directs, that is,ass=hlblue>as on the morning of a beautiful, clear day, early in the spring of eighteen hundred and twenty.

It wass=hlblue>astonishing influence over me ass=hlgree>as to bind my tongue so that I could not speak.

No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so ass=hlgree>as to be able to speak, than I ass=hlblue>asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects wass=hlblue>as right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)-- and which I should join. to know which of all the sects wanswered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: "they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof." ass=hlblue>as. I replied, "Never mind, all is well-- I am well enough off." I then said to my mother, "I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true." It seems ass=hlgree>as though the adversary wass=hlblue>as aware, at a very early period of my life, that I wass=hlblue>as destined to prove a disturber and an annoyer of his kingdom; else why should the powers of darkness combine against me? Why the opposition and persecution that arose against me, almost in my infancy? I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter wasion to give him an account of the vision which I had had. I wass=hlblue>as greatly surprised at his behavior; he treated my communication not only lightly, but with great contempt, saying it wass=hlblue>as all of the devil, that there were no such things ass=hlgree>as visions or revelations in these days; that all such things had ceased with the apostles, and that there would never be any more of them. very active in the before mentioned religious excitement; and, conversing with him on the subject of religion, I took occase; and though I wass=hlblue>as an obscure boy, only between fourteen and fifteen years of age, and my circumstances in life such ass=hlgree>as to make a boy of no consequence in the world, yet men of high standing would take notice sufficient to excite the public mind against me, and create a bitter persecution; and this wass=hlblue>as common among all the sects-- all united to persecute me. the cause of great persecution, which continued to increass=hlblue>as that an obscure boy, of a little over fourteen years of age, and one, too, who wass=hlblue>as doomed to the necessity of obtaining a scanty maintenance by his daily labor, should be thought a character of sufficient importance to attract the attention of the great ones of the most popular sects of the day, and in a manner to create in them a spirit of the most bitter persecution and reviling. But strange or not, so it wass=hlblue>as, and it wass=hlblue>as often the cause of great sorrow to myself. since, how very strange it wass=hlblue>as dishonest, others said he wass=hlblue>as mad; and he wass=hlblue>as ridiculed and reviled. But all this did not destroy the reality of his vision. He had seen a vision, he knew he had, and all the persecution under heaven could not make it otherwise; and though they should persecute him unto death, yet he knew, and would know to his latest breath, that he had both seen a light and heard a voice speaking unto him, and all the world could not make him think or believe otherwise. nevertheless a fact that I had beheld a vision. I have thought since, that I felt much like Paul, when he made his defense before King Agrippa, and related the account of the vision he had when he saw a light, and heard a voice; but still there were but few who believed him; some said he wass=hlblue>as hated and persecuted for saying that I had seen a vision, yet it wass=hlblue>as true; and while they were persecuting me, reviling me, and speaking all manner of evil against me falsely for so saying, I wass=hlblue>as led to say in my heart: Why persecute me for telling the truth? I have actually seen a vision; and who am I that I can withstand God, or why does the world think to make me deny what I have actually seen? For I had seen a vision; I knew it, and I knew that God knew it, and I could not deny it, neither dared I do it; at least I knew that by so doing I would offend God, and come under condemnation. with me. I had actually seen a light, and in the midst of that light I saw two Personages, and they did in reality speak to me; and though I wass=hlblue>as concerned-- that it wass=hlblue>as not my duty to join with any of them, but to continue ass=hlgree>as I wass=hlblue>as until further directed. I had found the testimony of James to be true-- that a man who lacked wisdom might ass=hlblue>ask of God, and obtain, and not be upbraided. the sectarian world wass=hlblue>as never in my nature. But I wass=hlblue>as guilty of levity, and sometimes ass=hlblue>associated with jovial company, etc., not consistent with that character which ought to be maintained by one who wass=hlblue>as called of God ass=hlgree>as I had been. But this will not seem very strange to any one who recollects my youth, and is acquainted with my native cheery temperament. left to all kinds of temptations; and, mingling with all kinds of society, I frequently fell into many foolish errors, and displayed the weakness of youth, and the foibles of human nature; which, I am sorry to say, led me into divers temptations, offensive in the sight of God. In making this confession, no one need suppose me guilty of any great or malignant sins. A disposition to commit such wase until the room wass=hlblue>as lighter than at noonday, when immediately a personage appeared at my bedside, standing in the air, for his feet did not touch the floor. thus in the act of calling upon God, I discovered a light appearing in my room, which continued to increass=hlgree>as were his legs, a little above the ankles.

He said that that prophet wass=hlblue>as Christ; but the day had not yet come when "they who would not hear his voice should be cut off from among the people", but soon would come. about to be fulfilled. He quoted also the third chapter of Acts, twenty-second and twenty-third verses, preciselyass=hlblue>as soon to be. And he further stated that the fulness of the Gentiles wass=hlblue>as soon to come in.

This he forbade me, saying that I must have no other object in view in getting the plates but to glorify God, and must not be influenced by any other motive than that of building his kingdom; otherwise I could not get them. tonishment at what I had both seen and heard. But what wass=hlgree>as before, and I wass=hlblue>as again left to ponder on the strangeness of what I had just experienced; when almost immediately after the heavenly messenger had ass=hlblue>ascended from me for the third time, the cock crowed, and I found that day wass=hlblue>as approaching, so that our interviews must have occupied the whole of that night. cended into heavenass=hlgree>as at other times, I found my strength so exhausted ass=hlgree>as to render me entirely unable. My father, who wass=hlblue>as laboring along with me, discovered something to be wrong with me, and told me to go home.

The box in which they lay wass=hlblue>as again informed that the time for bringing them forth had not yet arrived, neither would it, until four years from that time; but he told me that I should come to that place precisely in one year from that time, and that he would there meet with me, and that I should continue to do so until the time should come for obtaining the plates. forbidden by the messenger, and wass=hlblue>as going to do, and how and in what manner his kingdom wass=hlblue>as to be conducted in the last days. I had been commanded, I went at the end of each year, and at each time I found the same messenger there, and received instruction and intelligence from him at each of our interviews, respecting what the Lord wass=hlblue>as put to board with a Mr. Isaac Hale, of that place; it wass=hlblue>as there I first saw my wife (his daughter), Emma Hale. On the 18th of January, 1827, we were married, while I wass=hlblue>as yet employed in the service of Mr. Stoal. thus employed, I wass=hlblue>as, therefore, under the necessity of taking her elsewhere; so we went and were married at the house of Squire Tarbill, in South Bainbridge, Chenango county, New York. Immediately after my marriage, I left Mr. Stoal's, and went to my father's, and farmed with him that season. sert that I had seen a vision, persecution still followed me, and my wife's father's family were very much opposed to our being married. I wusual at the end of another year to the place where they were deposited, the same heavenly messenger delivered them up to me with this charge: that I should be responsible for them; that if I should let them go carelessly, or through any neglect of mine, I should be cut off; but that if I would use all my endeavors to preserve them, until he, the messenger, should call for them, they should be protected. ass=hlblue>as required at my hand, he would call for them. For no sooner wass=hlblue>as it known that I had them, than the most strenuous exertions were used to get them from me. Every stratagem that could be invented wass=hlblue>as resorted to for that purpose. The persecution became more bitter and severe than before, and multitudes were on the alert continually to get them from me if possible. But by the wisdom of God, they remained safe in my hands, until I had accomplished by them what wass=hlblue>as required at my hand. When, according to arrangements, the messenger called for them, I delivered them up to him; and he hass=hlblue>as them in his charge until this day, being the second day of May, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-eight. that the messenger had said that when I had done what wass=hlblue>as under the necessity of leaving Manchester, and going with my wife to Susquehanna county, in the State of Pennsylvania. While preparing to start-- being very poor, and the persecution so heavy upon us that there wass=hlblue>as no probability that we would ever be otherwise-- in the midst of our afflictions we found a friend in a gentleman by the name of Martin Harris, who came to us and gave me fifty dollars to ass=hlblue>assist us on our journey. Mr. Harris wass=hlblue>as a resident of Palmyra township, Wayne county, in the State of New York, and a farmer of respectability. all the time employed in circulating falsehoods about my father's family, and about myself. If I were to relate a thousandth part of them, it would fill up volumes. The persecution, however, became so intolerable that I wI enabled to reach the place of my destination in Pennsylvania; and immediately after my arrival there I commenced copying the characters off the plates. I copied a considerable number of them, and by means of the Urim and Thummim I translated some of them, which I did between the time I arrived at the house of my wife's father, in the month of December, and the February following. ass=hlblue>as ass=hlgree>as follows: he related them to me after his return, which wass=hlblue>Assyriac, and Arabic; and he said they were true characters. He gave me a certificate, certifying to the people of Palmyra that they were true characters, and that the translation of such of them ass=hlgree>as had been translated wass=hlblue>as also correct. I took the certificate and put it into my pocket, and wass=hlblue>as just leaving the house, when Mr. Anthon called me back, and ass=hlblue>asked me how the young man found out that there were gold plates in the place where he found them.

I then showed him those which were not yet translated, and he said that they were Egyptian, Chaldaic,ass=hlgree>as ministering of angels, and that if I would bring the plates to him he would translate them. I informed him that part of the plates were sealed, and that I wass=hlblue>as forbidden to bring them. He replied, 'I cannot read a sealed book.' I left him and went to Dr. Mitchell, who sanctioned what Professor Anthon had said respecting both the characters and the translation." no such thing nowass=hlblue>as on the fifteenth day of May, 1829, that we were ordained under the hand of this messenger, and baptized.

It wI had been baptized by him, I also had the spirit of prophecy, when, standing up, I prophesied concerning the rise of this Church, and many other things connected with the Church, and this generation of the children of men.
